Brianna Do, Melanie Green Tied for First-Round Lead at Riviera

Green’s ace on the par-3 15th helped her post a 6-under 66 and share the lead with Brianna Do after the opening round.

  • On Thursday, American Melanie Green and veteran Brianna shared the first-round lead at the LPGA Riviera Maya Open in PLAYA DEL CARMEN, Mexico, both carding 6-under 66.
  • Rookie Green carded a surprise hole-in-one on the par-3 15th with a 7-iron, though she did not realize the shot went in until walking to the green.
  • Spain's Carlota Ciganda sits one stroke back at 67, while world number one Nelly Korda opened with a 68 on the windy El Camaleon Golf Course, just four days after winning The Chevron Championship.
  • Brianna, who posted seven birdies and a bogey, credited recent experience in windy conditions for her strong start, saying the weather helped her focus on playing golf rather than her swing.
  • Korda, the only top-10 world-ranked player competing at Mayakoba, remains a contender despite the challenging afternoon winds that made the fairways at El Camaleon feel tighter during the opening round.
